09:16 csharp okay, I'm having "address" confusion in Evergreen... is the billing_address the "default" address when registering a patron?
09:17 csharp and in the reports interface, billing_address becomes "Physical Address"
09:17 csharp and since you probably would want to send bills to a mailing address and not a physical address, that's kind of confusion
09:18 csharp s/confusion/confusing/
09:20 tsbere csharp: I will admit, I gave up on figuring out a lot of that a long time ago. <_<
09:20 csharp heh - I don't blame you
09:21 csharp I would give up now if accurate reports results weren't dependent on it ;-)
09:22 csharp okay, so by default, looks like a single address is marked both billing and mailing
09:22 csharp (when registering a patron)
09:23 tsbere Yep. And most of ours are that way, so I gave up figuring out the details. ;)
09:23 csharp I'm certain our frontline staff don't know the difference either
09:24 csharp I would use "All Addresses", but I don't want duplicates counted in my report
09:24 csharp I think I'll go with billing_address and let the staffer I'm building the template for tell me if it's wrong
09:24 * tsbere wonders what the report is doing now

12:06 * tsbere isn't sure which he hates more, dealing with vendors directly or dealing with them through someone else
12:07 kmlussier I always prefer to work with them directly.
12:07 tsbere But sometimes the "someone else" gets to deal with all the stupid stuff before I get involved.
12:28 kmlussier joined #evergreen
12:31 kmlussier yboston++ #Using the public catalog docs
12:36 csharp I prefer dealing with vendors through "someone else" because that way it never appears like we're the ones ultimately responsible for getting something working
12:36 yboston kmlussier: thanks, I am working on some fixes right now
12:37 tsbere csharp: Usually I prefer the "someone else" but then technical discussions come into play and translating them through the "someone else" sometimes just makes things worse...
12:38 tsbere especially fun when you have "me, the librarian in charge of the vendor, the vendor's primary contact, THEN the tech person at the vendor" - two too many people between the tech people. >_>
12:39 tsbere (and then someone always wants a quick 5 minute "patch" to make things work without checking what other ramifications said "patch" would have >_>)

15:06 Bmagic We noticed a difference of behavior from 2.4.1 to 2.6.1. When cataloging a new marc record with fast item add, after the item details window opens, and you "Modify Copies" - the main window DOES NOT refresh and show the newly imported bib.
15:06 pinesol_green [evergreen|Yamil Suarez] Documentation: added "search URL" text inside of "using OPAC" section - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=cfa4a63>
15:06 Bmagic Thereby requiring another step to fish that newly created bib usin an OPAC search
15:15 jboyer-isl Bmagic: Perhaps of interest is bug 1277556
15:15 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1277556 in Evergreen "Fast Item Add no longer opens record after copy is created" (affected: 5, heat: 28) [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1277556
15:16 jboyer-isl Though I haven't had time to track down any specific change that stopped it from working. (Also couldn't find any commit that said "stop doing this")
15:17 Bmagic Aha! There is a bug, I didn't see that
15:26 Bmagic jboyer-isl: I have done some digging, some diffing and I have found some code changes in various key files: copy_editor.js, marcedit.js, z3950.js, global_util.js. I have gone as far as to change some of the code and see the affects. I am activly working on this.
15:29 jboyer-isl Bmagic: Excellent news. I wish I had more time before that upgrade to make the bug more useful, but it sounds like you're well on your way.
